Yeah,we might have to have a person watch over him for his safety if we keep cold turkey like...wait can we hire one of those monsters running about?...well not 'hire' but you get the point,at least one of those monsters would be good for the job...probably.

Quick question, how does already having a pistol align with the action to buy a gun? Is one case of pistol a typo for a different weapon type?
If not, I could see it being about buying a markedly better pistol because the current one is extremely low stopping power. Or it's to pick up a backup / a replacement for an existing questionable gun / dual wielding / substantially more ammunition / etc. such that it's mostly availability of similar common stuff. Maybe preparation for plausible concealed carrying as opposed to actively patrolling?
I'm fine if the answer is 'Kranken figures it out at a gun store based on narrative concerns', 'subvote for later if chosen', 'intentional mystery', or even 'no comment'. Just saw this on a random reread.

There's a very big difference in the effectiveness of different guns, solid chance that was some kind of relatively dinky handgun and the action is to buy something a bit more serious. Kranken didn't seem to like his chances of actually affecting the suit but he might have had a bit more confidence if he was using a heavier round.

Why is it Negative 50?
Heh, I like the idea of the bottom left panel, that Felix's alcoholism allows him to ignore the dangerous memetic effects of the world's monsters… that or his life is so depressing that he managed to horrify the horror who's supposed to be a master of psychological torment.
Well this is certainly a unique crossover quest. Can't wait for the clusterfucks of horror collisions to start, those will be fun. Now I guess I need to look into this cyber fun stuff, for I know nothing about our quest PC.
Well this is interesting. Definitely following.
One concern I have is that of world coherence/setting integration. When truly large scale storied such as Vita Carnis or the amalgamated SCP mythos are thrown into a setting with a lot of other things, they can't retain the same primacy they used to have. They have to become smaller in some sense.
For example, the SCP Foundation (and the SCP universe as a whole) in this setting must necessarily be a shadow of its greatest possible self, because otherwise the world wouldn't be in its current state anyway. (Heck, lots of SCP articles assume the foundation is a mere shadow of what it is in other articles, because otherwise it's displayed capabilities would trivialize the threat in question. And good on them! Things are usually more interesting when the foundation doesn't have teams of magicians and a time turner on standby.)
VC is actually something I'm a bit worried about in that respect.
(Also, given some of the dangerous manifestations of VC, I find it hard to believe people aren't horrified. Unless those haven't appeared broadly yet?)
There's also the fact that lots and lots of powerful groups would lobby against people's ability to keep trimmings as pets or cultivate VC personally. SCP, GOC, etc. It's just too much of an obvious threat and target, and it's appearance would make it easy to turn people against it.
That's part of what I meant earlier, in a setting where VC isn't alone, it wouldn't have nearly as easy a time as in the original timeline. It's no longer the big thing, the center of the story.
The flesh pit is a bit similar in that it seems not too difficult to hush up by just acquiring the land with money/skulduggery and locking it off. The foundations normal operations should've been able to keep it in check, even if rumors of its existence persist or the public retains knowledge of some of its weirdness.
To me such divergences from how the 'horror' would have played out in the original timeline due to mutual interference are part of the appeal of a setting such as this.
What the big organisations wouldn't be able to really deal with is the stuff that isn't obvious, or isn't geographically located. The 'random' serial killers, the doppelgangers, the digital threats spreading across an internet they don't control as much as they would in their own stories, Slender-man, the small and under the hood stuff. Like the topic of the Walten Files.
Maybe I'm missing the mark entirely and this is all intended as is for a reason, but I just can't help be concerned for coherence of the world even when I know that's difficult in such a setting amalgamation at the best of times.
Overall though, I have little reason to be cautious and a lot of reason to look forward to where this is going.
Thank you for creating this!

VC is actually something I'm a bit worried about in that respect.
I think the progress of Vita Carniss (and to a lesser extent the popularity of flesh pit park) within their own timeline may be set a bit too high at the quest's start. If VC managed to go from minor to all across in one decade, it would bury the world in another. The amount of trimmings as pets also seems too much, unless this is supposed to be total numbers in the entire world. Or unless something was manipulating people to consider them and VC likable. Frankly, if there was some sort of weird influence that draws a large share of the population towards creepy fleshy attractions that might explain both the popularity of the park and trimmings.

Just because the VC is widespread doesn't mean it will bury the world as there is too much stuff that can throw down with it before it reaches critical mass. It's like dandelions; practically everywhere, but in no position to destroy everything (small consolation to those it horribly murders). As for weird influences:
Mandela Catalogue is explicitly a thing, so uh, literally Satan might be running this dumpster-fire of a world, and it just loves screwing with peoples' heads.

The Foundation and related agencies are either shadows of their former selves, or extremely busy with stuff that could end the world, and thus letting the masquerade break a little and letting stuff that, while horrible and dangerous, probably won't end the world if left alone. They could either be rebuilding or busy fighting/hiding from hostile solar bodies and other entities of a similar scale.
"Mystery Flesh Pit? New drug that makes you smile and turn into super zombies? Killer animatronics? Can it be dealt with by typical public methods like bullets or fire? If so, fuck off, we have Satan to deal with."

In fairness Mystery Flesh Pit atleast is decidedly up their alley and probably not something the mundane world could deal with.
Does the Mystery Flesh Pit even do anything besides sit around and exist, though? Like yeah, it can occasionally eat someone who goes in too deep (or when it wakes up to its everything being heavily violated), but it always seemed like a less actively dangerous Sarlacc to me.

Its constantly releasing abominations mutated by its body? It's... honestly probably more of a threat than something like scp-3000 and nearly as explicitly unnatural with what we do know about it even publicly.
Also between the weird religious stuff going on with it I think there might be an implication that it's the dragon of the apocalypse or something so probably something to note given actual literal Satan is around.
Organisms have popped out of it for opportunistic hunting since the 1800s, and they scamper back home. It's important to remember that the organisms in the flesh pit are adapted to life in the flesh pit, the farthest they've roamed is when they got projectile vomited out of it in the 2007 incident. As for the weird religious stuff, well... people have made up weird religions over less impressive things in real life, so that some sort of devotion has cropped up around the giant superorganism that can provide risk-free orgies is kind of to be expected. If the thing really was mind-whammying people into worshipping it, it wouldn't have its current nightmare existence of being forcibly opened and repeatedly mined for its biological materials. It can feel pain after all, and keeps trying to expel all the foreign infrastructure we keep rudely stabbing into it. If we stopped repeatedly cutting open and drilling into the thing it would be less hazardous to the world than the Vita Carnis, because it is ultimately a very passive entity. But also we're way before the 2007 incident, so as far as anyone is concerned, it's just a big fleshy geographical feature that we are safely horrifically tormenting for fun and profit.

Tormenting seems like an appropriate word but I feel you're assigning it's more cognitive awareness of the events than I think it really had. The thing is, atleast until the incident, not just asleep but dormant. Like a bear in hibernation or a self induced coma. And until the incident nothing they actually did was really enough for it to notice or care at all, and even when it did it more spat up a bit and twitched to get comfortable than woke up to exact any kind of revenge.
Besides that, calling it passive or peaceful is ignoring a few things. Most of all is that is that the organisms that are adapted to living it aren't the things I was referring to. I was referring to the amalgamation beings that have still living and agonized beings incorporated within them. Which may or may not be immune to age given the....peeking druid I believe? Oh and of course they never really bothered to confirm that the clowns were dead rather than trapped. Oh and there's some less than savory implications of it not being native and some truly terrible things being inside that are apparently far worse than anything the humans did given the pit actually notices them.
The pit in its current state may not be a huge threat, but humans continuing to delve into it and poke it definitely are, because there's a perpetual risk they'll wake something up, or find something dangerous. Like playing russian roullet over and over without knowing the odds. That alone would be reason to shut the place down.

Also need to consider it might awake if any of the other problems floating around are stupid enough to poke it.
The amalgamations are made from things that wander or fall into the pit, and all examples have been manually removed from the pit. Sure, it's a terrible thing, but it's still just a passive function of the giant not-sarlacc. The thing isn't actively, purposefully doing any of it. It just sits there and eats things that stumble upon it sometimes.

If I was forced to worship anything at gunpoint, I'd probably go with the giant Mystery Flesh Pit to be honest, makes about as much sense as sun worship. It's right there, you can see it, you can offer it sacrifices and see meaningful effects afterwards, it's a giant virtually unstoppable thing that I couldn't do anything about if it wanted to kill me, it's not literally ontologically evil, it's an excuse to have an orgy...
Really, Mystery Flesh Pitism seems pretty cool.
Edit: Doesn't have the whole "Don't stare at God for too long or he'll render you blind." thing the sun has, which is a bummer, but it does have the "Don't go too deep into God's stomach or he'll eat you or worse." thing to make up for it.
